| |
| | |
| '''9-Volt''' is a major [[human]] character in the ''[[WarioWare]]'' series. He is a [[Nintendo]] fan, he collects everything about this company, and loves to play video games. 9-Volt lives with his mother, [[5-Volt]], and his pet [[Fronk]] in their [[9-Volt's House|house]] in [[Diamond City]] and attends [[Diamond Elementary]]. He debuts in ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'' as one of [[Wario]]'s friends who helps him produce [[microgame]]s.
| |
| | |
| Since ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', 9-Volt always stars together with [[18-Volt]] in the ''WarioWare'' series, who becomes one of his best friends in this game.
| |
| | |
| ==History==
| |
| ===''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!''===
| |
| Firstly, 9-Volt could be seen in the intro of ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!'', where he is called by Wario to join his "company" [[WarioWare, Inc. (company)|WarioWare, Inc.]] and to produce microgames for his upcoming game. Like Wario's other friends in Diamond City, 9-Volt agrees.
| |
| | |
| [[File:9-Volt prologue WarioWare Mega Microgames.png|thumb|left|9-Volt, at home with his Nintendo collection and mixing console.]]
| |
| In 9-Volt's own story, the school is out and he skates home with his high-tech skateboard, [[SK8]]. At the house, 9-Volt gets into his room and plays with his mixing console. 9-Volt says "Hello" a few times and with the help of the machine he imitates the voice of [[Jimmy T.]] or at least a similar voice while saying it. 9-Volt's oversized [[Game Boy]] answers him with "OK". Then 9-Volt makes music with the mixing console and spins records on it. Some kind of grabber comes out of the Game Boy and pops an over-sized cartridge into it.
| |
| | |
| Later, while 9-Volt still spins records, [[Ken the Reporter]] appears and announces that the [[Game Boy Advance#Game Boy Advance SP|Game Boy Advance SP]] is on sale in stores. Quickly, he leaves the house and his skateboard transforms into a hoverboard. With that, 9-Volt hurries to the next store to purchase the new handheld.
| |
| | |
| 9-Volt also makes a short appearance in the ending story of the game, where Wario states to his employees in the WarioWare headquarters that they wouldn't get anything of the money he earns with the game he and his friends make and then he escapes. 9-Volt is in shock, but like the other employees except for [[Mona]], he didn't chase after Wario. This suggests that both 9-Volt and Mona have a strong friendship with him (though in his case, it might have been his fanboy tendencies).
| |
| | |
| 9-Volt is featured in four unlockable [[minigame]]s in ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!''. In [[SkatingBoard]], he appears as the protagonist of the game and has to avoid obstacles and red birds with his skateboard. In the two-player minigame VS Chicken Race, 9-Volt is the character of the player who has to use {{button|gba|L}}, while the other player's character is a Fronk, possibly his pet. 9-Volt also makes an appearance in the minigame taken from ''[[Mario Paint]]'', [[Fly Swatter]], where the [[Spiny]] appearing in the congratulations sequence has been replaced by him. The minigame [[Paper Plane (minigame)|Paper Plane]] features 9-Volt as one of the characters looking through a window and telling the current flight time.
| |
| | |
| ===''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!''===
| |
| In ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!]]'', 9-Volt hosts a television show called Super Show. There, he uses a mixing console again and a [[Game Boy Advance]] with arms and legs that states "OK" in a similar way to the Game Boy in the prior game. After 9-Volt's entrance, [[Kat and Ana]] followed.
| |
| | |
| 9-Volt is one of the ten selectable characters in the multiplayer games.
| |
| | |
| ===''WarioWare: Twisted!''===
| |
| [[File:918meetsWWT.png|thumb|200px|right|9-Volt greets 18-Volt, and invites him over to his house.]]
| |
| In the intro of ''WarioWare: Twisted!'', 9-Volt comes along with Mona to [[Dr. Crygor's Lab]]. There, [[Dr. Crygor]] tries to fix Wario's broken Game Boy Advance with his invention, the Gravitator. But it has no buttons anymore after the repairing, instead of that the player has to move the system to move the character in the game. 9-Volt and Mona try it out and enjoy it. Wario gets the idea to make a new ''WarioWare'' game involving this style of gameplay.
| |
| | |
| 9-Volt is shown to be a troublemaker at school in this game. In his own story, a new student named 18-Volt came into his class. On his first day at Diamond Elementary, the teacher asks 18-Volt what his hobby is, to which he responds by taking out his boom box and playing loud Rock 'n Roll music.
| |
| | |
| 18-Volt got in trouble for this and after school he heads for his house broken-hearted. However, 9-Volt stops him and states that he enjoys his music. The two of them become fast friends and 9-Volt invites 18-Volt over to his house. When they got there, 18-Volt is ecstatic to see that 9-Volt has a [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] and the duo spends a lot of time on playing on the system. Eventually, his mother, [[5-Volt]] tells 9-Volt and his new friend to cease.
| |
| | |
| At night, when 9-Volt has to sleep, he furtively plays with his Game Boy Advance SP under the bedspread, but 5-Volt catches him.
| |
| | |
| ===''WarioWare: Touched!''===
| |
| [[File:9-Volt 18-Volt prologue WarioWare Touched.png|thumb|left|9-Volt and 18-Volt are still playing ''36-Volt Man'' when it gets dark.]]
| |
| In ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'', 9-Volt and 18-Volt go to the [[Toy Express]] to get a copy of the coveted, new [[Nintendo GameCube]] game, ''[[36-Volt Man]]''. 9-Volt snatches one and shows it happily to 18-Volt, who is carrying his boom box on his shoulder. Curious about their new game, the two friends quickly return to 9-Volt's house, in which he uses his SK8 to reach it. On their way, they pass the alien [[Orbulon]] who is running after his flying [[Orbulon's Oinker|spaceship]].
| |
| | |
| At the house, 9-Volt and 18-Volt play far into the night and reign victorious in the game. To celebrate their success, 9-Volt spins records again, with 18-Volt dancing behind him and his Nintendo consoles in front of him. 9-Volt's mixing console features moving [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] figurines, but it got so late that the two gamers fall asleep.
| |
| | |
| In the morning, when they wake up, it's already 9 o' clock. 9-Volt and 18-Volt are shocked about the fact that they're late and rush to school.
| |
| | |
| ===''WarioWare: Smooth Moves''===
| |
| [[File:9-Volt 18-Volt prologue WarioWare Smooth Moves.png|thumb|right|9-Volt, showing his Game & Watch to 18-Volt.]]
| |
| 9-Volt is visited by 18-Volt again in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]''. There, he showed a [[Game & Watch]] handheld console to his tall friend and plays with it. 18-Volt mistakes it for a [[Nintendo DS#Nintendo DS Lite|Nintendo DS Lite]] at first. He wants to see more of the console and gropes it, but 9-Volt still has the console in his hands and informs him that he is still playing, but he couldn't wait and the Game & Watch brakes in two halves. He gets furious and commands 18-Volt to leave his house.
| |
| | |
| Now, 18-Volt has a bad conscience and tries to find a new Game & Watch for his friend. He first looks in Toy Express, but they didn't have what he desires. After leaving the store, 18-Volt notices another store where some gamers lineup. He got into the store and the owner of the shop, [[Satoru Iwata|Shop Manager Iwata]], coincidentally has the searched Game & Watch on offer. 18-Volt reaches for it, but surprisingly 9-Volt does the same. The friends face each other and they both excuse each other for their mistakes. 9-Volt tells 18-Volt that he will always be his P2 (Player 2) and all goes well after that.
| |
| | |
| ===''WarioWare: D.I.Y.''===
| |
| [[File:Super9volt.png|thumb|left|9-Volt, starring in his own game, '''Super 9-Volt'''.]]
| |
| In ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]'', a game called ''Super 9-Volt'' shows up in 9-Volt's stage. It's a spoof of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and stars 9-Volt rather than Mario. 9-Volt, skateboarding, hits a [[Question Block]] shaped like a [[Famicom]] cartridge every time a microgame is won.
| |
| | |
| 9-Volt, along with Mona, Jimmy T., Orbulon, and [[Ashley and Red|Ashley]] apparently left WarioWare, Inc. to work for [[List of Implied Organizations#Diamond Software|Diamond Software]] in this game. Although, the reason they switch companies is unknown, various residents of Diamond City consider possibilities in the [[WarioWare: D.I.Y.#Modes|DIY Forum]]s feature of the game.
| |
| | |
| 18-Volt, who continues working for Wario, appears to view 9-Volt as a rival after his departure, as suggested by his role as a boss in his game (as well as their interaction after the boss game is completed) and his greeting to the player where he insists that he works at "twice the power as that other guy you might be thinking of".
| |
| | |
| ===''Game & Wario''===
| |
| 9-Volt appears in the [[Wii U]] game, ''[[Game & Wario]]''. He hosts the minigame "[[Gamer]]", that stars him with his [[Game Boy Advance#Game Boy Micro|Game Boy Micro]]-like console, playing [[microgame]]s. As he was supposed to sleep, his [[5-Volt|mother]] often drops by his bedroom. If 5-Volt finds out 9-Volt is playing video-games during his bedtime, he is scolded by her and the player loses. On his minigame's title screen, 9-Volt is depicted as having red hair; this is also the first time he is seen without his helmet.
| |
| | |
| He also appears in the [[Bowling]] minigame, as a bowling pin (like most other characters in the game).

| |
| | |
| ==Microgames==
| |
| 9-Volt comes with his own set of microgames in all games of the ''WarioWare'' series. Between ''WarioWare: Twisted!'' and ''WarioWare: D.I.Y.'', the games are always provided by both him and 18-Volt. However, it isn't known how much he shares in the creation of the games. For example, in ''WarioWare: Touched!'' 9-Volt says "our games", but in ''WarioWare: Twisted!'' he just speaks about "my games" in the character select menu, plus 18-Volt isn't even mentioned by name in the menu.
| |
| | |
| The microgames are based on products of [[Nintendo]], mainly on game software and hardware, but also on merchandise from the time before Nintendo became popular as a video game company. Microgames based on the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'']] series are featured in every ''WarioWare'' game.
| |
| | |
| For ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!'', 9-Volt creates microgames of the [[List of microgames in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!#Nintendo Classics|Nintendo Classic]]s genre. The games involve various Nintendo products from the 1960s up to the 1990s. ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!'' also feature his Nintendo microgames, plus a multiplayer game made by him, [[Card-e Cards]], which refers to a Nintendo product as well, in this case, the [[e-Reader]].
| |
| | |
| In ''WarioWare: Twisted!'', the microgame set of 9-Volt and 18-Volt is called [[List of microgames in WarioWare: Twisted!#9-Volt and 18-Volt's Microgames: Spintendo Classics|Spintendo Classic]]s. As an exception all microgames are only based on Nintendo Entertainment System games in this game. While the microgames of most of the other developers involve a particular style of gameplay per developer, the microgames of him and him require all kinds of spin techniques.
| |
| | |
| In ''WarioWare: Touched!'', the name of 9-Volt and 18-Volt's set of microgames is [[List of microgames in WarioWare: Touched!#Retro Action|Retro Action]]. The choice of Nintendo products is much more versatile than in the prior game again. Also newer products from the 21st century are featured. The microgames include all kinds of ways of using {{button|ds|Stylus}} and also the application of the [[Nintendo DS#Microphone|microphone]], while most other microgame sets involve a particular technique again.
| |
| | |
| In ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'', 9-Volt and 18-Volt's set of microgames involve all possible forms. Considerably more microgames are based on more recent Nintendo products. An example is [[Brain Age]], which is based on the [[Nintendo DS]] game ''[[wikipedia:Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day!|Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day!]]''
| |
| | |
| In ''WarioWare: D.I.Y.'', 9-Volt returns to his original role by going solo, while his friend 18-Volt is granted with his own microgames in ''WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase''. Despite this, their microgame stages are both Nintendo themed. Akin to ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'', 9-Volt's microgames adapt to more recent Nintendo products such as ''[[wikipedia:Wii Fit|Wii Fit]]''.
